Luise Eleonore Wreech

Louise Eleanor of Wreech, nee von Schöning (* 1708 Tamsel at Kuestrin, † 1784 in Berlin), was the granddaughter of the Saxon Field Marshal Hans Adam von Schöning and heiress of Castle Tamsel. Her father was Johann Ludwig von Schöning (1675-1713), her mother, the Countess Juliane Charlotte von Dönhoff.

When the then Crown Prince Frederick, later King Frederick II was interned in Kuestrin, he held more frequently between August 1731 and February 1732 in Tamsel on. The lady of the castle was known in her time not only as a very beautiful, but also as witty and educated.

Only after the battle of wrath village in 1758 Frederick was back in the castle, which had just been looted by the Russians. In a letter he apologized and paid for the damage. Wife of Wreech later was still struggling for more funds for the local farmers.

In 1737 it was painted from the Prussian court painter Antoine Pesne. Her portrait is now in the Hermitage Museum, the Old Palace in Bayreuth.

On May 25, 1723 Louise married later Lieutenant-General Adam Friedrich von Wreech ( 1689-1746 ). The couple had seven children.
